Guillermo Chantada Pays Tribute to Esteban Cvitkovic
Guillermo Chantada, President of the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP), posted on LinkedIn:
“I am very sad by Prof Esteban Cvitkovic’s death last weekend in Paris.
Esteban was a pioneer medical oncologist whose seminal contributions range from the discovery of innovative drugs (he worked on one of them until his last day) to the way we administer cisplatin that was one of his earlier achievements that we still use in practice. He was one of the brightest persons I have ever met. A kind of person you would never forget meeting.
I had the privilege of meeting him thanks to his support to the Institut Curie’s research in the biology of retinoblastoma and his support to this work was critical to the growth of my retinoblastoma group when I worked in Argentina through the Foundation Nelia et Amadeo Barletta.
Esteban was Argentinian-Croatian and lived in Paris but he kept supporting cancer research in Argentina .
My big big thanks to life for meeting him and to him for all his support.
This is the link to his obituary. “
